Feature Request: Per-user favourites

I have only a few favorites in 1Password and this was an excellent way to find "My Favorites". All of a sudden, I am now seeing favorites which other people who have shared vaults are marking as their favorites. The odd thing is, I can turn them off if I want, but then that removes it from their favorite list.

Is there a way to have our own favorites only show up in favorites. We have a large team of people sharing vaults from different cities. I am not enjoying searching through everything to find mine. I may as well not use favorites anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. There isn't an expected release date that the team and I can share. Changing favourites to be per-user rather than per-item is a request that is in our product team's backlog but there are prerequisites that have to be developed first before the team can consider making the change.

The metadata that stores whether an item is favourited exists in the item itself using the faveIndex value:

  • If an item is favourited then "faveIndex": 1.
  • If an item isn't favourited then "faveIndex": 0.

Each item is responsible for declaring whether it is a favourite or not, this system was developed in a time when sharing items in 1Password wasn't as common as it is now. Before favourites can be made per-user this faveIndex metadata has to be moved out of the item and into a new user-specific layer in the database. Creating this user-specific layer requires some architecture work and, for the moment, this work is yet to be done.

Personally, I'd love to see user-specific favourites and I'll continue to push for the feature internally. And, if I do come across any updates that I can share then I'll make sure to update this thread. 🙂

Since version 8.5 we are not on version 8.8. Any update on this feature being updated?

Hi @Orko, this is certainly still on our teams radar however I don't have any timeline to share as to if or when this will be implemented in 1Password 8. Thanks again for reaching out.

Another vote from me: this “feature” makes the favorites function completely useless. Which sucks because I have been using this a lot in the past.

This is a much needed feature. I work in a team with shared vaults that only some have access to edit. So not only can I not remove a favorite that an admin has added and I will never use, I can't add anything in the vaults that are read only to my favorites. This make the feature completely useless.

If you could +1 from me too. This issue has been around a loooong time. https://1password.community/discussion/105039/favourite-items-are-being-added-by-another-person-in-my-team (2019) and I’m very surprised no progress has been made as well as the fact pretty much the same response has been give.

As requested, I've added a +1 for you. Thanks for your continued patience.

Yes, I'd like to join the chorus of users who think Favorites should be per-user and not an attribute associated with an item. The latter model quickly devolves into a cluttered mess when working at the enterprise level.

Hello @cboettcher,

Thanks for your feedback about favourites being a per-user attribute. I've included your comments for the Product team.

Add my vote please.
Out of curiosity, how mush crap has the product design team caught for this? 🤣
